Wow! I have a new blog and I'm so excited to be visiting with you today. Please take the time to read my profile and you will find out a little more about me...but, I'm Three Dawg Lady Designs, but you can call me Deborah. Yes...Yes.... I do have 3 dogs, or as we say in Georgia "DAWGS"! I hope to have new pics of them soon so I can introduce them to you.  So, on my profile I wrote that I was a Crafter by Design. Let me explain. For years I was in the medical field as a Registered Medical Assistant, and loved it! Then I started working with people in recovery, and folks in recovery usually drink alot of coffee...Java....the Nectar of the Gods!! I LOVE THE STUFF!!! My addiction...lol.
So, in 1996 I had the opportunity to buy a coffee shop on St. Simons Island which is located on the coast of South Georgia. It was called Sugarbabies and was a GREAT PLACE. But atlas, I closed it in 2000 as the rent on the building was just getting to high for me to pay. I missed it terribly as I felt I was a great barista and the wonderful friends I had made over the years was to many to count. SOme of those folks are still my best friends.
So for the next couple years I owned a retail shop in Atlanta, but moved back to my beloved ST. Simons in 2006 when I found myself single at age 50. I started working for Starbucks and did that for several years...and then at another restaurant. Unfortunately over the years, I had a bad wreck, and a bad fall while working. AND THEN, in October 2008, I fell helping a friend have a yard sale, and broke my leg ankle, hurt my back and neck...and well, the rest you can figure out. I moved back home to Waycross, where I could be close to the rest of my family...and well, I had to find a way to "make ends meet"...and so I started crafting. I do alittle bit of everything. I'm not an artist, but I love what I'm doing. I hope to post pics of different things I do...really excited about the new wine glassess I'm doing now...they are called the "blue eyed babes" and the "green eyed gals". You can see them all on my facebook page. So, grab a "cup of java"...I've already got one....and sit a spell with me and browse my crafts.    Blessings, Deborah

DIY Zip Tie Bohemian Bracelets! VaVoom!

Image
Good Sunday Evening Everyone, Well, if you have ever visited my Pinterest boards, you know that I love Bohemian ANYTHING! The colors.....the clothes.....the furniture.....I'm an "ole hippie", what do you expect! I have seen so many things online, from clothes to jewelry, that have touched my bohemian soul, but, of course, for the most part, I can not afford to buy what I like. So, I resort to learning how to make it instead, and recently, I had seen these zip tie bracelets and just didn't think they would turn out like the pictures, but they did! Easy Peazy! You will need the large zip ties, your jewelry making tools, strips of cloth, jewelry wire and scotch tape. Yes, scotch tape! I took a zip tie and made a circle to measure the size of my wrist, but then just added a "smidgen"and then cut off the end of the zip tie and taped the circle together. I then took about a 24 inch strip of fabric and made a knot with one end around the zip tie circle and star...

Everyone Loves Watermelon....Right?

Good Monday Evening Everyone, Wow, can you believe that it is already the 6th of May??? I can't.....it seems like it was just yesterday that I  moved into my new home in February! But, I'm not complaining...especially after all the rain we got last week, the Sun was out today....there was a nice breeze blowing....and I had breakfast with my 2 daughters this morning, and my 4 1/2 month old grandson! It was wonderful, and I knew Summer is on it's way! When I was growing up, one of my favorite times of the Summer was when you could see all the watermelons for sale, and my Daddy loved him some watermelon! He would go to the local little farmer's stand where all his buddies whom were farmers were selling fresh local produce. He would load up the car with watermelons and come home. We would ice them down in a cooler that morning and then he would make us go outside to play! So, the water hoses were brought out and slung over a tree branch.....water sprinklers were set  ...

The Lady with Blue Eyes...New Folk Art Painting

Image
Good Friday Evening Everyone, Wow, it has been an absolutely beautiful day down here in rural South Georgia in my hometown of Waycross. The Sun has been shinning most of the day.....a soft, gentle breeze has been whispering through the pines.....just an all around great day..... and what better time for me to premiere my newest, and I think my best, folk art painting. I had this idea in my head for along time....I wanted her to be a little whimsy.....slightly "hippieish".... magical....secretive.....and special. I used both acrylic and oil painting....I had an old frame in my craft closet....and decided to glue the frame to the mat. I really love her....and proudly have her hanging in my bedroom....hope you enjoy her: The Lady with Blue Eyes I had said many months ago, when I started this journey of sharing my crafts, my paintings, my jewelry that I didn't feel like I was an artist. But, my sister said to me..."sissy you are an artist".....y...
